He defines himself as a «moderate free electron»: André Taormina who grew up in Collobrières, in the shade of chestnut trees, does not forget his Mediterranean roots, but does not forbid anything. From his experience of large houses to his installation with Angélique en Isère, he refined his technique and precision, immersed himself in local products to, over the course of exchanges, build his culinary identity that he affirms today in readable and creative dishes.
He then dares, in complete freedom, to create surprise, through daring associations, sets of textures that arouse astonishment, always respecting the work of the earth and the suppliers, sometimes inspired by a trip, a memory or a meeting. Generosity, audacity and a touch of malice for unexpected sensations: a meal at the Ambroisie restaurant in Isère, where the joy of savoring a break of culinary discoveries.
